Night Lights


fromage

Recommended Posts

[I]   Rather than having a night light plug (or putting/leaving a light on) to see the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night, we put solar lights outside all day then bring them in at night and strategically position them along the required route.  They usually last through until about 3am, by which time the bathroom visit has taken place.  [:)]

[quote user="Russethouse"]Have you done a calculation as to how long you could have a night light on for €12 ?[/quote]

Approx 7229 hours using a 15w light.

ie 903 days at 8 hrs per night or probably near as damn it 3 years, taking into account light summer nights for part of the time.

edit, Thats not using heures creuses rates which will give MUCH more.

Yes but decorating your trre with one 15w bulb is not quite as pleasing as having 20 flickering  LEDs......

Merry Christmas

PS Got them at Auchan and they are indoors/outdoors.

Lets hope we can come up with some money saving tips with a quicker pay back [:)][:)]

Thanks Powerdesal [:D]

Given that euro 12 will give 15w for 8 hrs per night for 3 years at standard rate and a little over 4 years at heures creuse rate then the pay back is pretty instant - dont spend euro 12 now at all -  instant saving of euro 12 (less the cost of a 15w bulb and fitting.)

Use these:-

Independent of (loss of) mains supply, 4 x AA batteries last a long time. Possibly very useful as emergency lights in the event of a house fire which takes out the mains power...............

Push to switch on - push to switch off
